Ontario taxpayers may be funding pipeline game

Ontario tax dollars appear to have flowed to an online game - available on publicly owned TVOntario - that features a natural gas line that can leak, make people ill or be sabotaged.

Pipe Trouble asks players building a gas pipeline to balance the interests of a "gas company rep" who demands the most economical route and those of a "volatile farmer" who looks at the environmental impact on the local community.

The game - available at pipetrouble.com - is for sale and part of the proceeds go to the David Suzuki Foundation.
